Abstract

A heated scientific debate, on the background of the reconstruction of Messina, would have had to inform the technical knowledge of professional men, entrepreneurs and workers, so that in the yards there were the echo of an antiseismic culture in progress. Protagonist of the reasonings was the reinforced cement or, with other words, reinforced concrete, to characterize different constructive systems, typical of the period. Its antiseismic vocation was to be demonstrate between theoretical formulations and static calculation. These interfered on the choice of the structural types and speed up original productive experimentations as well as anomalous constructive applications. From the first antiseismic house of 1910 to the activity of the Unione Edilizia Messinese, from the huge program of social building during the fascist régime to the autarkical prohibition of 1939, considering the licences, the constructive systems and the prerogatives of the involved enterprises, the technological evolution of the “reinforced concrete” will be traced, in that atmosphere of scientific and normative disorientation caused by the seism.
